VARIATIONS
ABOVE LEFT: An example of a sheet version
ABOVE RIGHT: An example of a booklet version
Stamps that were printed on sheets are easier to differentiate from those produced in booklets if they have part of the gutter still attached. The booklets are more easily distinquished from the sheets when they exist as se-tenants with two different value stamps attached or if the values are the same but one of the stamps is inverted.
PLATE FLAWS
There are no major plate flaws.
